AFAICT, you are not supposed to use Apache names in derived products, without the expressed permission of the relevant PMC. > I'm not in any way aspiring (at least no yet) at making CCAvalon an > official product of ASF (though I'd be very happy if it happens), but if > there will be any interest, I'm willing to do the necessary.

QT, OTOH, is a non-APL compatible license. IIRC, QT is under (L)GPL and the ASF has deemed it non-compatible to redistribute and/or derive work from such products. That said, if it is "low-level stuff" only, this could perhaps be refactored. > Doxygen (www.doxygen.org) is used to extract Javadoc-like > documentation and the release is equipped with full set of testcases > written using cppunit (cppunit.sf.net). Haven't checked this one either, but same principle. BSD, Mozilla, APL are considered "commercial-friendly", whereas GPL, LGPL and others are less so, and not compatible. > The code is compilable/working/tested under Linux and WIN32 and > Debian/GNU Linux packages are being made regularily. > I'm willing to answer any of the questions that can help to make the > project public ASAP. > Martin Man [the emeritus commiter of the Apache Cocoon II project] If you were active committer, you should know the licensing issues already. FYI, there is also a C# version under construction to run on .Net, and IMHO there could be forming a community to support non-Java ports.
